English wit and humor -- Periodicals
In a letter, published a while ago in the columns of _Truth_, and
pertinently entitled "Cacophonous London," Dr. GEORGE WELDON ably
pointed out the evil effects upon the nervous system of the community
caused by vagrant singers, shrieking newspaper boys, German bands,
piano organs, _et hoc genus omne_. We now notice that Mr. CHARLES FOX,
who is "organising a campaign"--this "_organising_" is evidently
on the hom[oe]opathic principle that "like cures like"--against
the nuisance, has addressed a meeting of the Balloon Society on the
subject. But why the _Balloon_ Society? The "cacophony" complained of
is not, unfortunately, _in nubibus_.

Transcriber's Note
Page 217: 'occured' corrected to 'occurred', though it may not have
been an error in 1895 England.
"As he was going down, it occurred to A. that _Ponto_ would be happier
in Oxford than in London,..."
Page 225: 'choregraphic'. OED gives 'choregraphic' as alternate
spelling for 'choreographic'. Presumably correct in 1895.
